Amenities guests look for

What guests actually filter for

On Absolute Stays, guests look first for wifi that works, heat that works in January, a kitchen they can cook in, a place to leave the car, and hot water in the evening. In Gabala and the north they also look for cooling in August. A jacuzzi on a list nobody can use does not book the stay.

Online check-in before the door is part of how we run arrivals — write how they get in, not a hotel-style lobby promise. A washer, a dryer or a line in the sun, and a table they can sit at matter more than a second decorative lamp.

• Working wifi
• Heating or cooling in season
• A kitchen they can cook in
• Parking or a real place to leave the car
• Hot water

List only what works on the night they arrive

If it is on the listing, it must be in the house and usable. A “kitchen” is a hob, a sink, a fridge and enough plates — not a kettle on a landing. A “parking space” is a place they can leave a car without blocking the neighbour, not a hope that the lane is empty.

A missing advertised kitchen, pool or heater is an AbsoluteCover issue for the guest. That can become a rebook or a refund. You lose the reservation. Mark the amenity off before the next guest if it fails.

Seasonal things need months

Heating in winter, a pool or garden shower in summer, a stove you only light after the first frost — write the months. “Pool” in March on a Sheki hillside is how a guest arrives in a coat and files. “Air conditioning” that is a fan in July is the same file.

If the well runs low in August, write that drinking water is bottled or that you refill from town. If the path is ice from December, write it next to “parking”. Seasonal honesty is cheaper than a January review about a heater that was never there.

Essentials are not décor

Toilet paper, soap, one towel and one pillow per booked guest, and linen on every bed they were shown — those are the stay, not extras. Restock before 15:00. A longer stay or a family of six needs more than a couple’s weekend.

Smoke and carbon monoxide alarms where you burn gas or wood are not optional courtesy. A first-aid kit guests can find without opening family cupboards belongs in the house, not in a photograph of a bathroom basket.

• Toilet paper and soap
• Towels and linen for the booked headcount
• Alarms where you burn fuel
• A first-aid kit they can find

Small things that make the nightly price feel honest

Drinking water, extra blankets, a kettle, a way to dry clothes, a lamp on the path after dark. Mention them in the description so the price in AZN looks like the house, not a hotel brochure. Guests who work from the stay need a table, a chair and wifi that holds a call — say if that is true, and say if it is not.

Accessibility is a fact, not a badge. A step-free entrance, a grab bar, a ground-floor bedroom — write only what is there. A courtyard with three steps and a steep track is still a good stay if you say so before they book.

When something disappears

Tell Absolute before the next arrival if a washer dies, a pool will not open, or you take a room off the listing. We update the page. Do not leave a filter on for an amenity that is in a box in the shed.

If Absolute Stays standards need an item you do not have, say so on the visit — we may bring a starter package when we photograph. Do not invent an amenity to look complete. Write through the contact page if you are unsure; we reply from info@abaz.az.
